Brown Soft Fabric Purse with Suede Floral Appliques

Brown Soft Fabric Purse with Suede Floral Appliques. 1960s.
Maker: Soure Bag New York. Soft, suede-like brown fabric Kelly-style bag with
suede floral and leaf appliques. The flowers, stems and leaves are stitched to
the bag and there are metal balls and metal floral center details. Two inner pockets,
one zip. One of the pockets holds a mirror, still wrapped in its original cardboard, never
used.

Soure is one of my favorite designers. This purse is so much
more special in person than in the picture. The artist put a lot of love and
care into the design. Best of all, it’s in near-mint condition and doesn’t
appear to have ever been used.

I'm a serious collector.

My Purse-onal Museum

Welcome! I'm Wendy Dager. Collecting vintage clothing, jewelry and accessories has been a hobby of mine for over twenty-five years. I eventually became obsessed with whimsical vintage purses, at first accumulating my collection gradually. However, when online shopping began, I went a little nuts. A lot nuts, actually. My husband had to build an entire wing on our house just for my vintage purses!

Being fairly thrifty, I've spent as little as 99 cents but never more than $85 on a single vintage purse. The collection continues to grow and our site, The Vintage Purse Gallery, has many visitors from all over the world.

February 1, 2015: BIG NEWS! I have completed the Art Museum and Gallery Studies online program at CSU East Bay and received my certificate.
